I find Meeks' style somewhat tiresome. It is tabloid jornalism rather than reasoned argument. His dislike for the Clinton is well known - he recently accused the administration of being fascist.
Ok, I'm with you to here...
I know of no evidence that the Clinton administration has a genocide policy, it is an insult to the 10 million civilians murdered by Hitler to use the term facist simply as a term of abuse, especialy if it is being used as a substitute for an argument.
While I agree that merely branding Clinton a facist without backing it up is childish, I really don't see how it's `an insult to the 10 million civilians murdered by Hitler.' Come on now! Facist does not necessarily imply Hitler, or even Nazi. The term facist has roots that go at least as far back as the Romans, and I don't recall a `genocide policy' as a prerequisite to being facist at any point in history. Even if he had called Clinton a Nazi, how does that equate to insulting those killed by Hitler and his flunkies? Perhaps calling someone a Communist also is insulting everyone that Stalin killed? steve -- // stephen clawson sclawson@cs.utah.edu // university of utah
